I've had EXCELLENT results with building top ranking web sites. My first successful web site was my Real Estate Site: GladwinRealEstateAgent.com I started building that web site in 2005. From the start, I went out on a quest to find out how to build my site to rank high in the search engines. I had to search through many different informational web sites for nuggets that I could use to help improve my results. There is a lot of good information out there, but you have to hunt for it.
Why pay some SEO company to tweak your site, when you can do it yourself. There isn't a whole lot to it and the changes are easy to do. You just need to KNOW WHAT TO DO!
My web site has gone through many changes over the past several years, but all in all... my real estate web sites have had raving success! I am now the #1 Real Estate Agent in my area and over 90% of my business comes from my real estate web sites.
For just my main web site, here are some of the search results with some of the top search engines!
